The Man who Belongs to the Band.

From Texas Sittlngs.
A man in uniform holding a brass horn in his
hand was standing on a corner awaiting street car.
Men and women gave him but passing glance if
they regarded him at ALL but little group OF boys
had gathered about looking at him with admira-
ton if not with awe, and we heard one little fellow
say TO his comrade, 'Look Tommy he belongs to
the band" although the band might have belonged
to him for anything that he knew.
Some unthinking people envy the man who be-
longs to the band because of the attention he at
tracts while his horn is exalted. They see him
going to picncs and popular celebrations without
costing him cent-in fact, paid for his time with
beer thrown mall he can throw in, Just because he
belongs 10 the band While others have TO work for
& living he wins it by playing, and with some OF
them it is play day all the year round.
And so they envy the man who belongs to the
band, and sometimes fellow buys a drum and en-
beavers to get the hang of it, horn and learns
toot it, with without tooer hoping to be invited
some day to join brass band,
But does the man who belongs to the band enjoy
himself SO very much more than his fellows? All is
not even brass that gtterS, and weary dissatisfied

There must he occasions when the man who be-

CHICAGO, October 8.-A Times special from
Sioux City, Iowa, says an attempt was made
last night to wreck Yankton passenger train
on the Milwaukee and st. Paul road in a curve
mile this side of Ellapoint, by fastening an
oak tie on the track. The engineer discovered
the obstruction too late to stop, but luckily the
train was not derailed. Over 500 excursionists
were crowded in the coaches, and had the de-
signs of the Williams been accomplished, the
loss of life would have been frightful. A sher-

Chaffee and Bowen.

Jerome B. Chatfee, by the way, was
one of the nOblest characters that graced
the western mining districts in the flush
days when all men were brothers, all
were on "the square divide" and to be
known as the "WhiteSt man in camp
which was Chatfee's reputation-was an
enviable distinction. More than one poor
miner in the Oiden days owes his subse
quent success to Chaffee's kindness in
giving his foot a secure resting place on
the ladder OF fortune. Among those
who were blessed with lis protecting
friendship Was ex-senator Tom Bowen, of
Colorado.
1t was in the poker and prospecting
period of Bowen's career, when he was
rich one day and went supperless to bed
the next. Tom on that particiar occasion
was experiencing an unusually hard
streak OF luck. He wandered around the
streets of Denver without any shirt on,
Clutching a threadb.re, buttouless swal-
iOWtaI coat with his half frozen hands to
keep the cold wind out, and wondering
where and how he was going to catch on
next, when he was met by Chaffee.
Bowen tried to dodge around a corner-he
had known Chaffee short time before
when he was flush--but Chaffee darted
after and captured him. After a brief
conversation Chaffee presented him with
500 in cash, told him 10 strike out for the
mines, and when the money was spent to
come back for more. Bowen went as di-
rected He pottered around awhile on
the Del Norte river, and finally struck ore
in the Little Aimee, which was the
foundation of large fortune.-Cor. ST.

SCARCITY OF GOLD IN ENGLAND.

AS having a direct bearing upon our
remarks on this subject few days ago,
we print the following dispatch from
London to the Australian papers, under
date January 18th: ''The Financial
News considers that the present time is
inopportune to allow the Colonies to de-
plete the gold reserves, and it complains
of the way in which Victoria is spend
ing the loans.'' In other words, it
holds that money borrowed in England
should not be expended in the purchase
of locomotives and bridges from the
United States and steel rails from Ger
many. Now, the Financial News" is
one of the great monetary authorities Of
London, and is more especially repre-
sentative of vast interests in Lombard
street. When it adopts this tone there
is very strong evidence of growing
stringency in the money market. Never
theless, the shipment OF gold from Lon
don to Australia continues.

ST. ANDREWS PRIORY.
The Board of Education Recognizes "A
Worthy Institution.

No educational institution in the King
dom has done more for the education of
Hawaiian girls than the st. Andrews
Priory, which is situated in the Cathe-
dral grounds. To go back to its early
history We find that in 1862 school was
started by the Misses Ibbotson and
Mason, the attendance numbering seven
scholars In 1867 Miss Sellon, who was
the founder of the Order of Sisterhood,
purchased land in Honolulu and erected
suitable buildings to carry on a school.
Her reason for this was because OF the
complete success OF the school started at
Lahaina, Maui, which was in charge of
the Eldress Phoebe. The schoolin Hon
Olulu on the present site was first con-
Quoted by Sister Bertha as Principal,
with Sisters Beatrice and Albertina as
assistants. In 1877 the school at La
haina was given up, and the Eldress
Phoebe took charge of the school at Hon
olulu, Sister Bertha returning to Eng
land, where she is now the Mother SUI
perior of the Order of the Davenport
Sisters, to which the Sisters i'll Honolulu
belong. The school has never asked for
any assistance whatever from the Board
of Education, having been self-support-
ing fromthe beginning. 1t is gratifying
to learn that the President of the Board
of Education has lately visited the school
and handed over to Eldress Phoebe the
sum of 50 900 toward making permanent
improvements. AT the last session OF
the Legislature an item of $4,000 for re-
pairs and permanent improvements to
boarding schools was passed. The $4,000
comes out of this appropriation. a new
school room is being built at the upper
end of the large field nsed as a play
ground The old school room will be
raised a few feet higher and used as
dormitory, and the roof covered with
corrugated iron This will enable the
Eldress Phoebe to take in more boarders,
and fill some of the numerous applica-
tions that have been waiting for long
time. At the present time there are 40
boarders and nearly 90 day scholars.
The teaching is very thorough in all its
branches, and many OF the pupils from
this school are now occupying high and
honorable positions in this community.
Religious training is one of the features
of the institution.
The new school room being erected
will be 7Ox38 feet, with spacious veran-
das all round. 1t will be divided into
two compartments by means OF sliding
doors. The work is being done by
Messrs. Smith & Mills in very thor
ough manner.
